1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesOculopharyngodistal myopathy (OPDM) is an autosomal dominant myopathy clinically characterized by distal muscle weakness. Even though the identification of four causative genes, LRP12, GIPC1, NOTCH2NLC and RILPL1, it is unclear whether the myopathy progressed similarly among OPDM subtypes. We aimed to establish diagnostic clues in muscle imaging of OPDM in comparison with clinicopathologically similar oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD).

methodsAxial muscle CT and/or T1-weighted MRI data from 54 genetically confirmed patients with OPDM (OPDM_LRP12; n = 43, OPDM_GIPC1; n = 6, OPDM_NOTCH2NLC; n = 5) and 57 with OPMD were evaluated. We scored the degree of fat infiltration in each muscle by modified Mercuri score and performed hierarchical clustering analyses to classify the patients and infer the pattern of involvement on progression.

resultsAll OPDM subtypes showed a similar pattern of distribution in the affected muscles; soleus and medial gastrocnemius involved in the early stage, followed by tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus. For differentiating OPDM and OPMD, severely affected gluteus medius/minimus and adductor magnus was indicative of OPMD. DISCUSSION: We identified a diagnostic muscle involvement pattern in OPDM reflecting its natural history. The results of this study will help in the appropriate intervention based on the diagnosis of OPDM, including its stage.
